Pitch Bend and Modulation
The Bender/Modulation lever located at the left of the keyboard can be used to apply two types of effect to the sound you’re playing in Keyboard mode.
Pitch Bend is an effect that lowers the pitch of the sound you’re playing when you move the lever toward the left, or raises it when you move the lever toward the right.
